and
   WHEREAS, Camp Fire Boys and Girls have provided a positive outlet
for youth activities in the areas of recreation, education, the arts,
camping, and other outdoor skills; and
   WHEREAS, Writing a letter to a child shows care and concern for
his or her welfare; and
   WHEREAS, Camp Fire Boys and Girls have created Absolutely
Incredible Kids Day on the third Thursday in March, a day when adults
around America are asked to write a letter to a child, whether the
child is a son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, neighbor, or any
child who needs a friend; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature designates Thursday, March
18, 1999, as the Third Annual Absolutely Incredible Kids Day; and be

   Resolved, That all adults observe this special day by writing a
letter to an absolutely incredible kid; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature commend all those who work in the

because their work is, indeed, an inspiration to all who seek to
improve our world; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for distribution.
